More evidence that the decision by Mayor Kenny Evans and the Payson Town Council to sell "non-potable" water to Chaparral Pines to water its exclusive golf course for 50 years was stupid, shortsighted and immoral:
In declaring a statewide drought emergency Friday, California Gov. Jerry Brown urged a voluntary 20 percent reduction in water usage.
"We ought to be ready for a long, continuous, persistent effort," including the possibility of drinking-water shortages, he said. "I think the drought emphasizes that we do live in an era of limits, that nature has its boundaries."
Evans justifies the deal with Chaparral Pines by claiming the water for the golf course is not potable because it will bypass the town's treatment plant. Come on Kenny, live in the real world. This is serious stuff. We're talking drinking water here.
Knowing how money talks, one has to wonder if there's something we aren't being told about the Payson council's decision.
